    --
    A boy on a train with a birthmark on his forehead
    Listening to language tapes, and all he hear is birds
    Everyone laughs, 'cause he brings his own chair to the office
    Convinced that the cushions will give him sturdier thighs
    The muscles of the intellectuals are atrophying
    Nobody's running, nobody's hiding
    They're lit by a light that isn't even the sun
    Lit by a light that isn't even the moon
    Ave, Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
    Ave, Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
    Ave, Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
    Ave, Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
    Maria
    Maria
    Maria
    Now, how many times have I told you not to go there?
    How many times have I begged you not to go?
    And how many times have you snuck down to that cellar
    Just to watch how the roots begin to grow straight up through our floor?
    The muscles of the intellectuals are atrophying
    Nobody's running, nobody's hiding
    They're lit by a light that isn't even the sun
    Lit by a light that isn't even the moon
    Ave, Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
    Ave, Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
    Ave, Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
    Ave, Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
    Ave, Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
    Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
    Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
    Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
    Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
    Ave, Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
    Maria
    Maria
    Maria
    A boy on a train with a birthmark on his forehead
    Listening to language tapes, and all he hear is birds
    (whistling)
    (tongue clicks)

    I'm freaking out. I love Regina. And when she whistles and clucks at the end of this song, I know why. She is a gift to me. I understand. I know why. Well, not really, but it's an incredible feeling to me.

    Each time I listen to this song, I cannot even get out of my chair afterward. She melts me with her soothing voice that just penetrates into my deepest parts. I listen to so many other artists and I am so impressed by their huge talent. But every time I return back to listen to Regina I realize how great she really is. Just like Prince wrote and Sinéad O'Connor made popular, the words "Nothing Compares to You" might as well have been written about Regina.

    I have a pleasant fantasy where I grow up with Regina. I am her friend and I get to watch her talent grow and her circumstances affect her talent. She whispers to me secrets when we sneak out to the rooftops at night. She sees' into my fiction of a happy home and writes stories and whispers them to me so I can hold on.
    She sings me her songs and I think to myself; this must be like what it's like to have a family...

    Haha her intonations is actually the thing that makes you convinced that she was born in Russia. When she sings in Russian it immediately gets clear that she was born in Moscow and not somewhere in US, because she makes such intonations while singing in Russian which only a Russian person can make, non-Russian will never be able to sing that way in Russian. I'm not even speaking about the absence of the accent ( she doesn't have it while singing in Russian), but her Russian intonations matter

    It's weird how many non americans there are in NYC, though. There are so many accents in there. You can see it everywhere, even when you choose a language for buying a ticket in the subway it's not "english" \ "other languages" but tons of language buttons and English is just one of them.

    sorry to drag this- but I was just thinking, maybe she did the new yorker thing on the word "office" because of the whole image of new yorkers working in offices? (like in every possible movie about new york. A river of people in suits). Because it's really different, she doesn't always use this accent.
    Also I wanted to apologise, I didn't mean to hint anything mean about new york. I'm proud to have some of my family in there for the last 11 generations. So no offence :)
